[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 136749, member: 1498"] [B]*How does the medwash compare to weaning off the medications at home in terms of safety?[/B] Medwashers done in hospital settings are often more abrupt and involve more than one drug at a time because there are time limits involved. That means home medication washes done right can be safer. Insurance simply won't pay for someone to do a gradual hospital medication wash let alone hospitalization for gradual medication wash [I]and[/I] time to see how the patient responds after being taken off the medications. Keep in mind that it may take [I]months[/I] for it to become apparent what the end results of a medication wash will be. There may be an extended period of adjustment for the brain to get use to not having the medication. The brain needs to find it's unmedicated "normal" state again (which may or may not be the same was the unmedicated state [I]before[/I] medication). [/QUOTE]
